About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission : To see the world ! ... I've got all the memo's and I'm a big fan !

ABOUT ME

Laid back actually my friends might tell you, but i like to think of it as easy going.....sounds better.I'm easy to get along with , tend to be a little sarcastic at times maybe, but on the whole a pretty happy guy. 'Manners maketh Man' I've been taught and I have to say after a fair bit of pondering, I agree.

PHILOSOPHY

Abide, man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Kinda just looking to surf.Although I have some room in my place that anyone is welcome to !

Interests

I really love the movies ever since I was a kid. They occupied a considerable part of my college days. I've recently decided I needed to read more so the movies have taken a back seat. I had a brief tryst with a camera and a guitar but my impatience got the better of me. Would love to get back to it. I'm also quite passionate about theater although I can hardly say I have much experience there. I've gotten back to it recently through improvisational theater and I really like it ! Finally to the reason I'm on this site.... my new obsession ...seeing the world. So this decade, whenever I can, i'm gonna travel !

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Too many but the last 3 I saw and liked were:
Princess Mononoke (1997), Hail, Caesar ! (2016) and Victoria (2015)
Music: Current playlist - Trace, Nick Waterhouse, Jungle, Black keys, Nicolas Jaar, Postmodern Jukebox. If you got a favorite playlist I WILL listen to it. I think this is a really cool way to stumble on a new favorite band.
Books: Murakami, Herman Hesse, Manu Joseph ..Depends on my mood really ...it can go from Woodhouse to Chuck Palahniuk some days.Just finished reading - Mobile Library - David Whitehouse

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well one day some time back i turned 21. I kinda realized my answer to this particular question was NOTHING ! I climbed a glacier with some buddies that was awesome , sailed the pacific when i was much younger, from what i remember, it was pretty cool but on the whole i got nothing. Which is why im here . I'm young enough so i guess this is excusable but time is catching up so i better get my act together and do some stuff ! My plan : travel, meet people, see some places ! how: couch-surf of course !

Teach, Learn, Share

Generally when people get together with open minds and a willingness to learn they leave wiser. So I try to keep my mind as open as I'm comfortable with and I'm sure we can learn something from each other :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to make some Indian food. I'm not the greatest cook but I got the enthusiasm .

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, India, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore

Countries I’ve Lived In
